Gigantic monuments from around the world (8 photos)


"Who were those people? And why they decided to immortalize in stone?" – asked the French photographer Fabrice Fouillet, standing in front one huge monument. It is this curiosity spawned a series of photographs in which he captured some of the largest and most impressive monuments.

Foye sent his love for architecture in a series of hunting sites. He is looking for unusual landscapes, which are dominated by enormous statues, often contrasting with the surrounding city. Some of these monuments we are familiar, but most were entirely new to us.
